| Reverse description | The reverse bears a counterstamped design consisting of the letters F, A, N, A, M arranged cardinally around a central device — an elephant motif counterstamped within a circular incuse punch — with the letters positioned at the top, left, right, and bottom of the central punch respectively, and a stop below the final letter. The overall composition reflects the denomination designation FANAM applied by counterstamp to the prepared copper flan. |
